A SchOOl-Boy's Luncheon.

A rule for a school boys luncheon
is given by Burdette: 'I would just
take the market basket, if the family
wasn't going to use it that day, and l
wonld cut up loaf of bread, and trim
off every bit of the crust to keep the
boy from lying about it and telling me
that he ate it and didn't fire it over the
fence when he came home. [ would
cut the loaf of bread into slices and
spread on butter until it began to fall
off, then / would stack on the sugar lbs
long as it would hold. Then l would
load in couple of links of sausage
and some slabs of ham dainty clus-
ter of hard-boiled eggs-say half a
dozen-all the cake there is in the
house, and fill up the rest of the space
with pie, and then stuff two of his
pockets full of apples to eat during
school hours, and fill the rest of his
pockets with nuts, and give him five
cents to buy 'taffy.' Then, if that
boy came home at 4 o'clock and said
he didn't have enough luncheon and
couldn't he have piece, would give
him the keys to the cellar, cupboard,
pantry, cake chest and fruit closet,
and yielding to dark despair, go out
into the barn and hang myself. We
were a boy myself, once"

Not Safe to Judge by the Clothes.

A few days ago lady from San
Francisco, who had very solid bank
account, went to Lake Tahoe on a
pleasure trip with her daughter. She
concluded that she would have a good
time and accordingly went without
jewelry. She found herself in the
midst of a lot of people making vul-
gar display of clothes and diamonds.
She was subjected to the most unmer-
ciful snubbing and put off in an OBJ
scure corner to eat. With true femi-
nine instinct she decided on revenge.
Presently there were deposited at the
hotel IL Saratoga trunks, waybilled to
her address. She and her daughter
that evening came down to the dining
room in blaze of lace and diamonds
that took everybody's breath away.
1t blinded the eye to look at the pair.
The steward. after recovering his pose,
rushed forward and pulled out two
chairs from the most fashionable table
in the hotel. She shook her head and
replied, "The old table will d." and
went to the obscure corner. The dudes
tried to shine up to the girl, but she
wouldn't have it, and those who tried
to scrape an acquaintance with the
mother found it like trying to run a
tunnel into an iceberg. They left soon
after, and it was a complete triumph.

Racing in the White Mountains.

The New Hampshire society for the
prevention of cruelty to animals is de-
termined to break the practice of rae
ing horses against time over the car
riage road from the Glen house to the
summit of Mount Washington. Ten
days ago DR.. w. S. Webb, sOn-in law
of the late w. III. Vanderbilt, and Maj.
w. B. Wetmore and wife of New York,
were driven over the road, distance
of eight miles, in which an ascent OF
5000 feet is made in one hour, nine
minutes and 81 seconds. The team
consisted of six horses, owned by
Charles R. Milliken 81 Co., proprietors
of the Glen house, and to avoid re-
sponsibility, it was sold, it was claim
ed, to the occupants of the carriage.
On complaint of Col. Marvin, presi-
dent of the society, the driver, Chas.
O'Hara of GOrham was arrested and
arraigned before Justice Carl Abbott
of Gorham charged with cruelty driv-
ing the horses. He waived examina-
ton and was put under bonds to ap-
pear before the October term of the
supreme court to be held at Lancaster.
Messrs. Gillette and Roberts of the
Glen house were accepted as bonds
men. 1t is said that the parties who
caused and participated in the race
would have been prosecuted if they
had not left the state.

Mt. Washington station Abandoned.

Lieut.. Woodruff, who is an inspector
of the signal service bureau of the war
department says: 1t will be of interest
to the public to know that the station
on the top of Mt. Washington is to be
discontinued. 1t has been interesting
to watch the atmospheric changes at
that station. but they are of little or
no practical benefit to the rest of the
district. The altitude is so great that
the changes there rarely affect the
lower atmospheric strata. The wind
might be blowing a hurricane at the
summit of the mountain while dead
calm prevailed at the base. L suppose
the station will be run in the summer
season, say from May to September,
inclusive, to accommodate summer
visitors to the mountains, but it seems
of needless expense to maintain the
station during the winter. 1t is a
most uncomfortable place to spend the
winter in, and l guess the operators
wont regret leaving it during that part
of the year. suppose it will surprise
a good many people. But really, when
you come to think of it, you will see
that the reports from that station, are
read more as curiOsities than as being
of any practical benefit.

Henry Willard on His Feet Again.

One of the most interesting instances
of a man rising above the wreck of his
fortune is that of Henry Willard, who
in ten years made fortune of S5,OO0,-
600, lost it in a few months, and now
appears in the financial world again
not, indeed, with his old standing en-
tirely recovered, but still as power in
Wall street. Mr.. Willard resigned the
presidency of the Northern Pacific rail
road Jan. 4, 1884, and on the same day
made an assignment to William Endi-
colt, jr., and Horace White. Last
week Mr.. Willard purchased $6,OOO,-
OOO of Oregon Navigation securities for
the German syndicate he represents
and on the 10th inst, it is understood
he will be elected director of the
Northern Pacific. 1t is not unlikely
that he will soon succeed Elijah Smith
as president of the Greg TranscOn
tinental company, position he resign
ed December 1S, 1888. Mr.. Wizards
collapse was the sensation of that most
remarkable year in Wall street history
-1SS4-and that in less than four
years he should so nearly recoup his
broken fortune and reappear as fac
tor in the railroad and financial world
is remarkable.

ssSNAP" ADVERTISING.
Burlington Free Press.


There appears at present to be a
perfect mania for what are technically
known as advertising "snaps." Bur-
find frequent reference in our exchang-
es to such swindling schemes, the last
being from Detroit, as we learn from
the Journal of that city. These "snap'
advertising men, should they be dis
honest, are under no restraints. Usu-
ally they are strangers and when they
have worked one city they can go to
the next. Their business is to make
any representations that will catch the
advertiser. Consequently the prom
limited only by the demands of the
prospective advertiser. The common
dodge is to take a certain space and
fill it with the cards of every firm but
one in a certain line of business. Then
the canvasser goes to that firm and
says: "Mr. SO-andSO (naming the
proprietor of the newspaper) told me
that if L would come to you, you would
undoubtedly take this last space"
That lie works about every time.
When the advertiser is cajoled into
taking a card, the next thing is to get
the money in advance. Now, there is
no daily paper in Vermont which is so
much in need of money that it has to
ask pay in advance for its advertising.
More than that, there is not daily
paper that would do so through it's
own regular representatives. When
pay is asked in advance an advertiser
may be sure that the paper itselfis not
the party most interested in the
scheme.
1t is surprising to those who know
most about the science of advertising
how many of these "snap" schemes
thrive by virtue of the smooth talk of
a smart canvasser and the fact that
few business men know how to adver-
tise. Nine-tenths of the money placed
in these schemes is wasted. One man
comes along with hotel clock, around
the face of which he groups lot of
advertisements; another has hotel
desk another has an album; another
has big board to hang in the depot
All these schemes catch the inexperi-
enced advertiser and they are all
worthless.
Every railroad depot, every hotel,
and nearly every fence in Vermont are
daubed all over with these untruthful
signs-evidences of the folly of many
otherwise good business men. And
they are constantly being added to.
Some "smart" chap appears every lit
tie while with something new-a big
photograph, a "snide" pamphlet pur-
porting TO be a description of the Gin
dustries" of the place, big clock,
EevOlving sign, a checker board, an al
bum-and invariably catches the mex
perienced advertiser. There is big
board covering half the side of the
waiting room in the Burlington pas
senger depot at this moment which
pretends to be an advertising scheme
of Burlington business houses and not
over half the firms printed upon it are
in business today. Soft is with them all.
Firms change in a short time and the
card soon becomes a staring lie. Does
any sane business man believe that
thing of that sort which is glaring
lie, and known to be such by nearly
every body who sees it, is any good as
an advertisement All advertising

Mark Honkins, VIII.

The late Mark Hopkins thus began
his will, whose chief provisions we
have before given:-
In making my will l wish first to ex-
press my sense of the great goodness
of God to me during long life, the
blessings of which have far exceeded
my expectations. Second, | wish to
express my mistaken faith in the glo-
rious gospel of that blessed God as it
is revealed by and in Jesus Christ, and
my personal acceptance of him as my
only ground of hope in passing into the
future world and my prayer is that
all my children may accept this Savior
in their hearts and serve him in their
lives.
